Here are some of the highlights of my work filming, producing, and editing video podcasts and interviews. From NPR’s Newsmakers, to Wild Card, to Tiny Desk interviews with some of my favorite artists, to a Spanish-language weekly podcast.
Dave Chappelle, the provocative comedian and architect of Chappelle’s Show, is one of the biggest names in comedy. Now in arguably the most successful chapter of his life and career, he views himself as not just an entertainer -- but as a professional processor of events and experiences. He describes comedians as 'the nation's kidney' -- an essential organ for processing the raw experiences of life.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says there’s a lot of skepticism in his state that the Trump administration will keep its word and draw down the presence of federal agents there. Two people have been shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis in recent weeks. Gov. Walz sat down with NPR’s All Things Considered host Juana Summers for an interview at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. In their chat, he said the Trump administration was “trying to twist reality” about what is happening with peaceful protesters in Minnesota. Walz also vowed not to “compromise with authoritarianism.” And he said the “final line of defense” for democracy “is the people.”

Bob Odenkirk says he was never supposed to be an action hero, but he’s grateful for the way his career has turned out. Starting out as a sketch comedian, he never could have foreseen roles like Saul Goodman in “Better Call Saul” or Sheriff Ulysses in his newest film, “Normal.” He tells Rachel he takes none of it for granted, as he retraces his path from his humble Illinois roots.
